L I N E U P :

MACUMBA
Four talented musicians will drive us into the explosive rhythms of Latin and World Music.
Enjoy a different approach to Latin rhythms, afro - cuban and brazilian funk, mixed-up with jazz.
‘’Macumba’’ quartet was formed in March of 2017, after the arrival of the Chilean bassist Rodrigo Cáceres to Cyprus, where he met Rodos Panagiotou, Elias Ioannou & Giorgos Morfitis, three very well-known musicians of the island. ‘’Macumba’’ performed at many Festivals such as Afrobanana Festival, Aglanjazz Festival, Windcraft Music Festival, Paradise Jazz Festival, Old Port Jazz Festival, Rialto Jazz & World Music Festival, etc. and regularly at many venues in Cyprus. They also performed at the Gardens of Sounds Festival in Katowice, Poland in June of 2019, attracting a wide and warm audience. Recently the band showed up at the TV program ‘’Roadtrip’’ at the RIK1 Channel.
Τhis time, the band presents its original songs composed by the four musicians which are included in their first CD Album “COMO JUGANDO” that was released in July 2019 with a very positive response from the audience in Cyprus and abroad. It expresses several music styles with a fresh and powerful groove that will transport you to different parts of the world.
Rodrigo Cáceres - bass
Rodos Panagiotou - drums and percussions
Giorgos Morfitis - keyboard
Elias Ioannou - trumpet

The band interprets classic Cuban repertoire, Latin jazz and general latin music (rumba, son, cha-cha, bolero, bachata, merengue, timba) creating a wildly uplifting atmosphere! Yemaya Son is formed by four professional musicians, all of them with long experience from stages all around the world:
Pedro "Son Caliente" Guevara (Cuba) - Lead singer and percussions
Alejandro Salazar (Cuba) - Drums, percussions and vocals
Alex Rodriguez (Colombia) - Keyboards and vocals
Rodrigo Caceres (Chile) - Electric Bass and vocals

BATUKINIO
